Hey folks, Rome is burning you know

Racism spacism, pretty soon black people are going to be irrelevant because everyone is going to be poor and out of work. Also, Hispanics are the new black vote--and unlike blacks they tend to vote Republican because for the most part they do not like handouts. How do you like these tidbits? Am I a racist?

HELL NO. I am a realist. And if you think that Obama has not said the same thing in closed door meetings you are 100 percent WRONG.

Hillary and Bill Clinton are not racist, but this truth is as irrelevant as racism soon will be. Poverty will be the new ism, and many of you who think you are immune will be getting quite the comeuppance--and deservedly so.

Barack Hussein Obama is a wanna-be-zillionaire with a very, hmm, global outlook. He has no intention of helping America, unless you mean helping himself to America's largess. When you support, defend, and vote for him you are pounding the nails into your own coffin.

STOP it when you still have the chance to vote for someone that actually cares about you. Who knows when this too will fade and become history.....

@everyone

You always miss the point. Always.

Also, FYI, Hispanics came out in droves to vote for Hillary. EVERYone who knows knows the vote will swing for McCain or noone if Obama is the choice.

Here is the truth: more black americans than any other sub-group are on some form of assistance. hispanics, for the most part, do not want assistance. politicians use these known demographics when plotting agendas. stupid people ignore these when using race to decide how to vote.

And the Democrats are missing out on the Hispanic vote in this futile attempt to look progressive. Instead, they look stupid and they are being both racist and sexist and just plain dumb. They are driving away Hispanics and woman for blacks, and in the business world this would be considered a loser move. Demographically speaking of course....

Talk to the Black People, people---go to Illinois

And talk to the Black People. First, talk to Mr. Obama's constituents. Then, talk to his fellow Black Democrats holding political office. Then, come back and tell me again how he is progressive and radical and about hope and change.

If actions speak louder than words--then he is a liar hypocrite racist.

If words speak louder than actions--then he is a liar hypocrite racist.

If nothing matters but making him into what you want him to be, rather than looking at him for what he is--persist in this suicide action.

BUT DO NOT lump me into your baggage as racist or ignorant. Not fair and not accurate--but neither of these seem to be important to you.

Hispanics, working class, women, seniors--without these subgroups Democrats will win senatorial/congressional offices BUT CANNOT win the presidency. What is happening right now is defining moment for the two party political system in America, as well as the whole political system. Perhaps from the fires a new, better one will fly upwards, or perhaps we will all just burn. If we get what we deserve, we will all burn :(

Are you fucking for real?

I can match intelligence quotients with the best of them, but what is the point really. Your threat regarding roe is nonsense redefined, and I am bitter and damn proud of it. But I was bitter long before Mr.Messiah used that term to describe poor disenfrancised white Americans. I was bitter back when most of America made fun of Hillary Clinton for proposing that access to medical care should be a guaranteed right of every American. Now of course everyone is on that bandwagon....

I'm sorry, but I will need a tad bit more than protecting men's right to enter my vagina with no repurcusions as reason alone to vote for a sworn enemy to America and a BIG OLE ASSHOLE. You, and the Democratic Party, truly underestimate how much we detest Mr. Obama and how we will NOT be voting for him. Not because we are bitter, nope, but because he is a horrible candidate who has expressed open hostility toward America, Americans, religion, Israel, and, let's not forget, 'older white women." As a 30 something white female, I guess he is talking about me.

Romans killed Jesus, Nero fiddled while Rome burned, George is at his ranch today while thousands die because of his arrogance, and the only person with more audacity than all of these but together is Barack Hussein Obama. And then the only person(s)with more audacity than BO is the group of Americans supporting him and chastising those of us that will not. Read my lips, FUCK YOU!!

@MCE

I just got back from Washington and the new fatal epidemic is not bird flu, but Obamatitis. Democrats have lost their respective mind, and I don't know if they are going to be able to find it in time to save the world.

Statistically speaking, they are committing suicide with our lives. Millions of us emailed,called, faxed and some of us even went up there and said NO VOTEs, NO MONEY, NOT EVER AGAIN, and I don't even know if they heard us.

Since I have done all I can do, now I have to just sit back and watch. It is just so damn hard to watch a boat sink when you are tied to the mast.
